Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower head into small florets, roughly the same size for even roasting.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
Step 5
While the cauliflower is roasting, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.
Step 6
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 8
Stir in the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest.
Step 10
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 11
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumb mixture over the roasted cauliflower and gently toss to combine.
Step 12
Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
